“What have you in your ship?”
“Tomatoes.”
“Where do you hail from?”
“Liverpool.”
“To which port are you sailing?”
“Boston.”
“Have you any girls on board,” &c. &c.
Of course, the captain’s aim is to force “the ships” to introduce the letter K in their answers.
The Longest Line
This is a good competitive game. Men and boys should stand with their feet on a chalked line. Each must stoop down to a half-sitting position, and with the left hand resting on the knee and the right hand inserted beneath the right leg, draw a line as long as possible without rising or using the left hand.
